Wow, that's an amazing doodle!

And I LOVE the music!

Found the doodle on German Google, but I have no patience with that sort of computer games. 
My computer game skills and patience are on level Tetris.

Mark Twain's 176th anniversary
in three images, this being the middle one

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/nov/30/google-marks-mark-twain-birthday?newsfeed=true

Google celebrates Mark Twain's 176th birthday today with its latest doodle, which depicts a famous scene from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

The full-width illustration greeting web users logging on to the search engine portrays an episode in the novel in which the protagonist is made to whitewash a fence. Resembling a drawing from a children's story book, the picture appears to show Tom and his friend Ben at various stages of the paintwork job, with the 'e' and half the 'l' of "Google" subjected to their brush.

Although the writer's 176th birthday may seem a somewhat arbitrary milestone to mark, he remains a towering figure in American literature whose works enjoy an enduring popularity today.

Born on 30 November 1835 in the town of Florida, Missouri, Twain penned Tom Sawyer in 1876 and its sequel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, in 1885. The two novels are his most famous works and count among America's best-loved tales.

The scene from Tom Sawyer chosen by Google to celebrate the anniversary of his creator's birth sees Tom painting the fence as punishment by Aunt Polly for dirtying his clothes in a fight with a boy from St Louis

Google doodle celebrates Robert Noyce

Google home page pays tribute to microchip co-creator and early
pioneer of digital revolution on his 84th birth anniversary

By Jasmine Coleman

The co-creator of the microchip and driving force behind Silicon Valley, Robert Noyce, has become the latest famous figure to be honoured by Google.

The search engine's Doodle design celebrates what would have been Noyce's 84th birthday with a stylised electronic chip on its home page.

The entrepreneur is credited along with Jack Kilby with the invention of the integrated circuit, which sparked far-reaching digital developments and gave the high-tech Californian region its name: Silicon Valley.

Noyce co-founded Fairchild Semiconductor in 1957 and Intel in 1968. So it seems fitting that he should get a birthday tribute from one of Silicon Valley's most powerful technology companies.

Noyce died in 1990 in Austin, Texas, aged 60. His family set up the Noyce Foundation, which works to improve the teaching of maths, science and literacy in US schools.
